This nature house is a cozy detached cottage in the middle of the Drents-Friese Wold with a lovely woodland garden (1800 m2)! Downstairs you will find the living room with a fireplace and a well-equipped kitchen, a bedroom with a double bed and the bathroom with toilet. Upstairs are two bedrooms, these have a sloping roof (at lowest point 1.80) and a curtain as a door. In the barn there are, among other things, four bicycles (2 ladies). The nature house is located on a quiet park without facilities, except for the small but well-stocked library. That means: peace, space and a lot of nature. Parking is available on site and the main but fairly quiet road to Diever is nearby. Barbecuing, relaxing, cycling, mountain biking, hiking, cooking, working, watching a movie or baking a cake, it's all possible. Looking for a place to recover, a place to write quietly or to undertake all kinds of outdoor activities? This nature house is the place to be!
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in the middle of the Drents-Friese Wold and near a number of other beautiful nature parks with heath, forest and sand drift areas, such as the National Park Dwingelderveld, the Aekingerzand and Fochteloërveen. This makes it a fantastic base for hiking, cycling or bird watching. Nearby (4.5 km) is the picturesque village of Diever with everything you need: a bakery, supermarket, several restaurants and the best ice cream in the area (tip!). Also worth seeing is the "hiding place" in the woods near Diever. On the way to Diever you will pass the Shakespeare House and the Open Air Theater with its traditional summer performances. A must see! Other nice places nearby: Zorgvlied, Vledder, Frederiksoord and Wilhelminaoord. For children there is plenty to do in Appelscha, such as a day at Verkeerspark Duinen Zathe, the Bosberg Tower or the climbing forest. You can swim in the Canada Lake or the heated forest pool in Appelscha.

Unfortunately, the cottage did age a bit with some glazing in the windows and an oven that could not close properly, electrical outlets that were unsecured and the upstairs windows that could not lock properly.
Helaas is het huisje wel wat verouderd met enkele beglazing in de ramen en een oven die niet goed dicht kon, stopcontacten die onbeveiligd zijn en de ramen boven die niet goed op slot konden.
It was a very nice cottage with a beautiful garden! We were there in the middle of the snow and that was totally a treat.
Het was een heel fijn huisje met een prachtige tuin! We zaten er midden in de sneeuw en dat was helemaal een feestje.

A small point of attention: the bathroom sometimes had a slight sewage smell; an air freshener could easily solve this. It would also be nice if occasionally vacuumed under the couch; we did this ourselves now. The crockery was left not quite tidy on arrival, probably by previous tenants, this is obviously something the owners have little control over.
Een klein aandachtspuntje: in de badkamer hing soms een lichte rioollucht; een luchtverfrisser zou dit eenvoudig kunnen oplossen. Ook zou het fijn zijn als er af en toe onder de bank wordt gestofzuigd, dit hebben wij nu zelf gedaan. Het servies was bij aankomst niet helemaal netjes achtergelaten, waarschijnlijk door vorige huurders, dat is uiteraard iets waar de eigenaren weinig invloed op hebben.
The cottage has a lot of atmosphere and is located in a beautiful, quiet area. Really a place to completely unwind. It is fully equipped (except a dishwasher) and clearly furnished with care. The beds are lovely and also the sofa and chairs are very comfortable, which makes the stay extra pleasant! We really enjoyed the cupboard with fun games, a nice surprise and made for cozy moments! The garden is fully fenced, which is also ideal for families and gives a lot of peace. All in all, a very nice stay in a beautiful place. Definitely recommended!
Het huisje heeft veel sfeer en ligt in een prachtige, rustige omgeving. Echt een plek om helemaal tot rust te komen. Het is van alle gemakken voorzien (behalve een vaatwasser) en duidelijk met zorg ingericht. De bedden zijn heerlijk en ook de bank en stoelen zitten erg comfortabel, wat het verblijf extra prettig maakt!
Wij hadden veel plezier van de kast met leuke spelletjes, een fijne verrassing en zorgde voor gezellige momenten! De tuin is volledig omheind, wat ook ideaal is voor gezinnen en geeft veel rust.
Al met al een heel fijn verblijf op een mooie plek. Zeker een aanrader!This text is automatically translated.
